Poland Attractions

When sightseeing around Poland you'll find all the hallmarks of
European charm in abundance: alpine mountains, historic buildings,
resplendent lakes, lush meadows, untainted beaches, and some
fascinating albiet harrowing sites from the Second World War.

The capital of Warsaw was the first city to fall to Hitler and
had to be almost completely rebuilt after the 1944 invasion. Parts
of the Old Town were built to replicate the city as it had stood in
the 17th and 18th centuries and the Historical Museum of Warsaw, a
salute to the city's violent past, is a must. A visit to Poland
would not be complete without a trip to the country's most
significant wartime landmark: Auschwitz, Hitler's biggest and most
notorious concentration camp.

About two hours north of Warsaw is the Bialowieza Primaeval
Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site which is one of the last
remnants of the European primeval forest which once covered most
the continent. Further north visitors will find other rare vestiges
of old Europe, like the Gothic Castle in Malbork, the largest and
most impressive brick fortress in Europe. There are several other
wooden and stone churches, temples and other impressive buildings
throughout Poland's vast and glorious countryside, which can be
traversed by bus or train.

The city of Krakow is the most popular tourist destination in
Poland, and the city which suffered least during the war. The main
attraction is the remarkably well-preserved medieval centre, but
Krakow is a cosmopolitan, modern city boasting the wonderful mix
between old and new which characterises the whole country.
